Rousanne is a Rhone grape that thrives in Texas — when hail and late freezes don’t knock most of it out, as happened this year. Compare Texas and world rousannes with Benjamin Calais, owner-winemaker at Calais Winery, at this Gusto Tastings event, 7:30 p.m. Aug. 28; $40. Also, enjoy Calais while you can; the winery is scheduled to move to Hye in the Hill Country after the first of the year. 3000 Commerce St. at Walton Street, Dallas; go to gustotastings.com for tickets.
